Motorola's heavily touted Droid 2 smartphone has been confirmed for an August 12th release date.
The date comes from an internal Verizon blog, which while unconfirmed, seems real.
Details are laid out about the smartphone in the leaked pages, as well, with the most notable being the launch-day addition of Android 2.2 Froyo. Android 2.2 includes 450 percent better performance, an improved browser, built-in Flash 10.1 support, and Apps2SD among other features.
Swype will also come pre-installed, giving users arguably the best virtual keypad typing system available.
The device has a 1GHz processor, a QWERTY keypad, 8GB onboard memory, and an 8GB microSD card.
Additionally, the phone will come pre-installed with a plethora of Verizon apps, Skype Mobile, NFL Mobile, Blockbuster, City ID and 3G Mobile Hotspot.
